Hi,

So my collegue (who doesn’t speak english) is trying to install plugins on Sigil on Mac, but for any plugin, she is unable to do so. First, when trying to select the zip file of the plugin, it simply doesn’t show up, like if it wasn’t recognized. Then, when she types the file name manually to add it, it shows the following message (plugin invalid).

The zip file is the original one, it hasn’t been decompressed and is untouched (she downloads it with Chrome). She tried installing the latest version of Python and ActiveState, and it didn’t change anything.

Does any one has a clue as why this problem is happening?

Thanks!
